Dear Pat and Family.
Hi Pat I am the lady who called you a few times last week to see how Frank was doing. I just wanted to let you know how much Frank will be missed at Church and in our Hearts. We always looked forward to him walking through those doors early Sun morning with his coffee in hand. I am also a greeter on Sun. at 8am. so we chatted a lot, as I sit with the Fyfes in the second last seat and Frank always sat behind us in the last seat. We moved here from Toronto and have known Frank for 25yrs. We have heard quite a few stories regarding the grandchildren. We actually met a few years ago Pat at the Fairgrounds. You and Frank had gone down to one of the attractions so we stopped and chatted for a while. I just wanted to send you and the family my deepest sincere condolences and to let you know that Frank will be in our thoughts and prayers for a long time to come.
I will certainly try to be at One Restaurant & Lounge on Wed.

Dear Pat – What disturbing news I saw in the paper today. Frank was such a good friend and fine gentleman, that he will be greatly missed. Pat, I will be in touch with you later, but just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathy and Love, Marian.
Dear Pat:
Our sincere sympathy to you and all your family. We know he will be greatly missed. God bless.
Dear Pat & family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy. Frank was a wonderful man and will be missed by so many of us. Frank touched so many lives in such a positive manner. We have so many fond memories at the lake, we’ve shared a lifetime of laughter. As you begin this journey please know that our family is thinking of each of you. May the love and support you receive during this time help you to gain the strength for the days ahead.
Peace & Prayers,
Frank, Willa, Jane, Steve, Kim, Tyler and Karyn
Sincere sympathy. Frank was a true gentleman who enjoyed sharing the Walkerville connections which spanned all interested generations. A pleasure to have known him
Pat, Tim and Judy:
We are all thinking of you and your families at this very difficult time. Cherish your memories. What great memories of your family times at the cottage with friends and family. We will remember your Dad fondly.
See you soon.
Love The Wild and Kyle Family
Frank was one of my first teachers when I became an appraiser and I will always remember his calm easy manor. He was a true gentleman.
Dear Pat, Judy & Jeff, we were sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. He will be missed at the beach. We regret we are unable to attend the reception in Frank’s honor, but our thoughts are with you, Steve and Roxanne
Pat, my sincere condolence to you & your family. I enjoyed Franks company at the mall. We had lots to talk about re London Life & our various illness. Am down here in West Palm Beach & will not be able to join you At the Grosvenor.
Dear Pat, Tim and Judy,
So sorry about your father. It just seems such a short time ago seeing you and Frank at my father’s and my uncle’s reception. How time seems to catch up to us and take the ones we love away. I’ll always remember your father being an honest and sincere man. I think that’s why our fathers got along so well. He will be missed greatly. Take care.
David Coleman and Family
Dear Pat,
Our sincerest condolences.
Our memories of our London years are particular fond for us, especially having served with Frank and having enjoyed many social times together.
Frank’s dry humour will always be remembered. It was indeed a great time for us. We will miss him. We are glad that we saw you both a few months ago when we were last in London.
Our Prayers and thoughts are with Judy Murphy and Jeff Murpy and Family during this difficult time. Your Friends,
Jennifer and Jeff and Family.
I was sorry to hear of Frank’s death. He and I had been friends for many years. I first met Frank at an Armoured Corps Conference when he was commanding the 1st Hussars and I was commanding The Royal Canadian Hussars.
We would see each other at the Corps Conference and the Cavalry Luncheon at the RCMI in Toronto. Frank had a great sense of humour and we will all miss him greatly.
May I express my deepest regrets to the Hull family on the passing of Frank Hull whom I knew as Mr.Hull when boarding at their home in 1968-69 attending UWO. Mr. Hull and Mrs.Hull -Patricia together with Tim & Judy made me feel like family – in my first University year. I came across this notice today quite by accident. My condolences to all.
